[Locked to Ironhide, Minnie Mouse, Otacon, and Dale Cooper]

I don't know if it'll fix anything at this point, because I said some pretty horrendous things to all of you, but for what it's worth, I'm sorry.

I'll understand if you're still mad. None of you need to reply to this.

[Action for Goldenrod]

_{[It's probably not surprising that there's been radio silence from Heather on the 'Gear for awhile, considering... well, everything. Even if she hadn't had her 'Gear confiscated as part of the 'grounding', she hadn't exactly been in a chatty mood.]

[But even if she's bound to the city, she's not bound to the hotel room, and considering that she's sort of in the doghouse at the moment, she's not too interested in staying cooped up with the people who are rightfully upset with her.]

[So she can be found wandering the streets of Goldenrod City with Cujo padding along at her side, window-shopping or occasionally lounging on a bench-- minus the firepowers that blew the metaphorical Diglett-hole into a volcanic mountain a few weeks ago, but unfortunately still with the unattractive aftereffects of the whole ordeal: smoky black hair, patches of scorched-looking skin, and a permanent burnt-toast smell following her around.]}

[Nope! She doesn't know. She just calls people when she's worried about them, and she saw all the chaos on the network...she meant in general!

But what's another few misunderstandings here and there?]

Oh, well, it's more that whenever I try to search for your name, I can't find it...it's a bit mysterious. Maybe my Gear isn't working.

_{[... 8I; oh.]}

... Oh. Wellp. That's strange.

It is! I feel a lot better knowing you're alright, though! If there's ever anything you need help, don't hesitate to ask me, alright?

Yeah. Sure. You'll, uh, totally be the first person I go to.

_{[EXCEPT SHE WOULDN'T BE.]

[Heather casts an uneasy glance at the Machamp-- although Cujo doesn't seem to share her reservations. He's gone right up to the muscular Pokemon and is wiggling happily. 8) HELLO]}

That sounds good, then! I'd really just...oh! It looks like your little guy is making friends with Cougar!

[Despite his massive size, Cougar is a TOTAL bro. Who doesn't look anything like a cougar, but he's strong like Cougar...He squats down so he can get a better look at Cujo, greeting him happily with a salute. Hello, different Pokémon!]

... Yeah... that's.... that's great...

_{[Heather could not possibly sound MORE enthusiastic about her starter's new buddy, naturally.]

[Cujo is positively spasming with happiness, of course, and he promptly leaps up to put his paws on the Machamp's chest (or... well... would if he could REACH that high, anyway. So probably more like his abs) and pant happily upwards. NEW FRIEND NEW FRIEND.]}

[She's going to whip out her Gear and Pokedex this little guy! She's never seen a Growlithe before, and she's pretty giddy about that.]

He's so cute! What's his name? I've never seen one like this before.

[And Cougar is just going to appropriate such eager attention with some gentle petting. With only one hand, fortunately. With one of his others, he does a fist bump. This is AWESOME.]

His name's Cujo. ... He's a Growlithe.

_{[Eyes shutting in bliss, Cujo leans back against Cougar's hand, tongue lolling out happily. He is an easily-pleased creature.]}

That's such a cute name, Helga. Look at him, he's so precious!

[She squats down so she can better get a look at the Growlithe, too, completely and blissfully unaware that Helga would rather escape.]

_{[Once Sisuca's face is within licking distance, you bet he's trying to give it a thorough bath. Unlike Heather, Cujo has no mommy issues to make him keep his distance.]

[MEANWHILE, Heather continues to stand there in the background, wondering whether or not she'd be able to get away if she just made a run for it. And whether or not Cujo would follow.]}

Yeah, I'm, uh. I'm lookin'.

[AAAAH. Sisuca loves every second of it! Oh, how she wants one now! Lick away, little puppy! Cougar still pets him, even if he's paying attention to Sisuca now.]

He's so warm, too! What a good boy! Who's a good boy? I can't believe I've never seen one like this before! Do you want to see one of my cute ones, Helga?

They're... they're pretty common. I think... _{[Or maybe she just knew a lot of people who had them.]}

And yeah, I... I guess.

_{[IF IT WOULD LET HER GET AWAY ANY FASTER...]

[Cujo, on the other hand, seems super excited about the prospect of meeting a new friend! ANOTHER new friend! He wriggles excitedly, bouncing up and down slightly and bumping Sisuca's face with his blunt snout equally as often as he manages to lick it.]}
